1341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Casinos Should Do Survey From Time To Time To Assess You. on: May 24, 2023, 07:09:13 AM
How will a "Survey" help to prevent those actions?

Most people lie on surveys, so you are not getting accurate data from those surveys. The ToS specifically restrict certain countries from playing on those sites, so people are not just breaking the rules that are stated in the ToS, but they are breaking the local laws of their country.

So, if people stick to the rules, then situations like this will be prevented. The sites must just make sure that the users specifically acknowledge that they have read the ToS and that they will abide by it.

I see Stake.com have recently forced people to "tick" that they have read the ToS, before they can enter the site.  Wink

I asked Eddie on stream on Saturday, if Stake are being taken to court over VPN use and people from Australia playing on the site and he said .."NO" ..there are no court cases against Stake.  Roll Eyes

I think OP, must come back with proof of this case being lodged against Eddie (Stake) and then we can discuss this further. I see no need for everyone to get fired up, if there are nothing.  Wink
Why would they though, because lets take a look at the "crime" here, stake is saying you can't gamble from one nation, and people still do, which party is the responsible one for that? I would guess that people who gamble from Australia even though they are explicitly told that they can't are the ones who are committing the crime and I would guess that they would be the ones who are breaking the law.
You have a good point here and I completely agree with you, reading the terms of service and countries that are prohibited from gambling on stake, Australia is already list amongst other countries, if any gambler who is a citizen of Australia decides to use VPN to access stake.com, and in the process, maybe stake found out and locked the person out of his or her account and possibly confiscate all the fund in the account.
Dragging stake to court to on such a matter is an absolute waste of time and resources for the gambler since the terms and conditions already proves that the gambler is the one breaking the rule.

I think the loophole that people want to exploit, is that Eddie (co-owner) of Stake.com are using a VPN to play on Stake, while he is an Australian citizen. I think people see that as a sign that they too can use a VPN to bypass the restrictions.

The thing is, if the ToS specifically states that some countries are restricted, then people from those countries must abide by the ToS and the laws of those countries, if they use any any means to bypass those laws... then they are breaking the ToS and their local laws.  Roll Eyes

I can see certain scenarios where VPN use might be legit, for example if I am a citizen of a country where it is legal to gamble at Stake and I am on holiday in a country where it is illegal. I can then use the local countries Internet and then use a VPN to play, because I am still a citizen of a country where it is legal to gamble there.  Wink
1343  Economy / Economics / Re: Not all banks are going bust. on: May 24, 2023, 06:19:30 AM
The previous Banking crisis was caused by Fractional reserve banking, where only a fraction of bank deposits are required to be available for withdrawal, the rest are loaned out to lenders. This is the building blocks of any Banks, no matter how big you are.

You do not have to loan money to foreign countries to have toxic loans, it can happen with local loans too, when they have reckless lending practices. Do you know what amount of money do your Bank have to have in reserve, according to your local laws?
1344  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The last side of Bitcoin I've failed to look into on: May 24, 2023, 06:09:32 AM
There are some places where people can deposit their Bitcoin and then get a fixed interest on it, like Freebitco.in ...if you want to earn passive interest, while you hoard your coins.

I grow my coins by trading with it, with the old strategy of selling at a high price and then buying more at a lower price. It is working very well for me, but I always have a fixed amount of coins that I never sell.  Wink
1345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: increased Youtube Gambling ads? on: May 23, 2023, 05:48:33 AM
It might be a combination of different scenarios...

I do not know how long ago did you watch online gambling streamers, but if it was before the Covid pandemic... then it might explain why you received less gambling related advertisements. The online gambling scene exploded during Covid, because people were forced to stay in-doors.

Since then, online gambling has increased and the Youtube algorithm has targeted you with more advertisement, because there are more online gambling sites that are paying for advertisements on their platform.   Tongue

There is absolutely no reason for people to fall against each other here, that doesn't really make any sense at all. I understand that you may not agree with each other, but this is a topic regarding gambler vs casino, no need to turn that into gambler vs gambler.

If a person is having a problem that I never had, my job is not to go around and attacking that person, plus if a gambler is having a problem, it is not right to share it here neither, there are 2 ways, either contact stake themselves which we all know as the first thing to do, and also a scam accusation topic if you have any proof. Both sides should not be here because it is not the right place to get attention, it is just not going to change anything on the long run at all.

Correct and upon reflection, i have deleted most of my posts in regard to the issue already whilst my legal action to resolve the issue is taken.

Mr. Beast might be laughing at that scenario, because he is printing money on social media with his videos, but other people can learn from his mistakes. Do not leave your private key anywhere near to your computer and do not write it on a piece of paper and store it somewhere, where it can get damaged.

The ink on paper can fade over time, if left exposed to the environment or the paper can get wet... or your house might burn down. Always laminate your paper wallets and make several copies and then distribute it to different geographical locations.  Wink

OP, I am really glad someone are actively engaging people to adopt Bitcoin and also the Lightning Network. I think the LN is key to the adoption of Bitcoin as a currency, but I think the learning curve for that, is still too high.  Roll Eyes

Will you be offering some discount for people who are paying with Bitcoin as an incentive for them to use Bitcoin as a currency? I find that a discount are one of the most effective strategies to increase Bitcoin adoption.  Wink
1349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker coming to stake.com in the near future ! on: May 22, 2023, 07:38:58 AM
Do not get your hopes up too high... Eddie promise new features and new gambling sites to people in restricted countries, every streaming session ...and it seldom happens.

He is creating content and these things might be in the planning phases, but nowhere ready for implementation. He even laugh at himself, when he makes promises like this... but let's see what happens.

Most of their budget goes into marketing and not into development of new features.... just look at the time that a new original game were last, launched.  Roll Eyes
1350  Economy / Economics / Re: Americans go to Mexico for medicals to cut costs. on: May 22, 2023, 05:56:17 AM
The reasons for the high medical care cost in the US is driven by "Greed"

1. The have a healthcare system that are market driven. The drug costs and healthcare providers salaries are much higher than in other countries.

2. The U.S. health care are based on a for-profit insurance system, where corporate greed and price gouging are rampant.

3. The US government are involved, and everything the government touches costs more, because private companies over charge them.  Roll Eyes
1351  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can personality trait or ones DNA sequence determine ones success in Bitcoin? on: May 22, 2023, 05:35:01 AM
No, I do not think that your DNA has anything to do with your attraction to Bitcoin. I should rather think that personality traits that are a learned trait, has something to do with it. The risk takers will be more inclined to invest in technology that has a higher risk potential, but that has nothing to do with your DNA.

There are personality traits that are learned by parents to their children, like parents driving their children to be diciplined and hard workers and also to be risk takers. (Read the Book : Rich Dad Poor Dad)

There are nothing wrong with you gambling, if you just want to divert your attention to something else...so do not blame yourself. People watch movies or they drink alcohol to escape the reality of life.

The key thing for you is not to substitute gambling to fill a gap for something else on a permanent basis. Do it responsibly and have fun while you are doing it and still leave some money, so that you can go out there and find someone else to love you. Good luck.... there are many girls out there... and they can be more expensive than gambling.  Grin Wink
1353  Economy / Gambling / Re: LTCCasino.com (Suspicious payout) on: May 21, 2023, 08:59:34 AM
OP, I am just curious.... how did you find this casino? Where are they advertising their casino?.... because we need to contact that platform and report this as a "scam casino".. so that it can be removed from their platform.

We do not want other people to join there and then deposit money that they will never see again.  Angry  In any way, just navigate to the websites where reviews are done and leave a very bad review, so that people can Google them and find out who they are.  Wink
1354  Economy / Gambling / Re: NFTonSPIN.com - Leading Crypto Casino With Get Full Refund If Not Satisfied on: May 21, 2023, 08:44:35 AM
Guys, it has been 3 days since OP has responded to any of the replies on this forum, so that shows that he is not serious about this. The 900% cashback is sketchy, so I would be very cautious going forward, until someone has verified this.  Roll Eyes

Any casino has a house edge to make some profit and it must be very low (1% to 3% to be competitive) ...so it will be very interesting to know how this casino are making a profit, if they give back money that are wagered at their casino.  Roll Eyes
1355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best and worse slots on: May 20, 2023, 10:45:51 AM
You should never follow the paid streamers example, because they have unlimited access to casino money to play until the RTP of that slot kick in for them. You have a limited budget, so you play for a short while and then you lose your money, before the RTP kick in.... and that is applicable for all of the people that are not paid streamers.

The paid streamers are actually creating a bad example of what gambling is, because their wins are fake. People see the massive wins and they try to recreate it with a small budget and it seldom happens.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Well, for your information, stake is not the only casino that does not necessarily ask users for kyc verification before the user is allowed to deposit and play, majorly every online casino on this forum only ask kyc from user when the user is withdrawing an amount of money that is over the limit to an amount they accept for non kyced users.

I think you have not heard the update, afaik KYC is now mandatory for new accounts. They started to implement it since last year if I remember it correctly. I've heard this information from new players especially new players who are from the same country as me. For old users, it is still not mandatory as old users are  offered to do KYC for extra bonuses. For now, whenever there is a question related to KYC then we have 2 different answers. 1st is that it is not mandatory for old players and 2nd is that it is mandatory for new players. However, it is correct that casino reserve the right to ask KYC especially if it is clearly mentioned in their ToS.
Even for the old players the terms and conditions were updated. In that it is clearly mentioned Stake have got all rights to request KYC when required. So, even for the old players there'll be KYC check when something found wrong with their activities. While getting into Stake, even the old players get to see the terms and conditions which needs to be agreed to enter the platform.

He will not see your point.... he saw a loophole to possibly gain his losses back and he is going for it. Stake will fight this with all the money they have, because a successful outcome will mean that everyone that played without KYC, will have to be refunded.  Roll Eyes

I hope Stake recorded all Eddie's streaming sessions, where he specifically said that Australians are not allowed to play at Stake. He also said that VPNs are not allowed and that people doing it, will have to account for their own actions, if they are caught. 
1357  Economy / Economics / Re: Are we headed to a nowhere economic direction ? on: May 20, 2023, 10:13:54 AM
Yes, people are really getting it from all sides and not a lot of people seem to have disposable cash to invest in anything.  Roll Eyes

In my country, inflation are causing rapid increases in the cost of living and interest on debt are being increased by the government. The electricity and utility bills are also much higher and interest on fixed Banks deposits are less than inflation.

The Bitcoin price might be low now, but we have seen previous events where there were a strong recovery and that left some room for making small profits. (Example : Buy Bitcoin at $26k and selling it at $30k = +/- $4k Profit per coin)  Undecided 
1358  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [23-05-19] Is Ledgers New Bitcoin Key Recovery Feature Safe? Experts Have Doubts on: May 20, 2023, 10:05:58 AM
I think the oil on the fire was the fact that Leger were hacked before, so people do not trust them to keep anything safe. The hackers used the hacked information to target individual customers that bought hardware wallets from them. (Phishing attacks)

Any informed Bitcoin user will tell you NEVER to store any "Private key" or "Seed" online, so it is ludicrous that a hardware supplier would even try to provide a service like that.  Roll Eyes
1359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Getting around KYC on: May 20, 2023, 09:56:27 AM
You can find out if there are "Bitcoin" meetups in your area and then you build a trust relationship with some of those people and start trading with them. I have bought a lot of coins in that way and I never had any problems.

Yes, it is not the safest way to do that, but you use social skills to protect yourself. Example : Tell the buyer that you are buying small amounts to buy food every day, so they will think that you are not a hoarder. People will not go out of their way to follow you, if you buy a few hundred dollars worth of coins every week.  Roll Eyes

Ey Lanatsa really good info you put.

I dont know what to think about this guys, seems like a gambling addict or a complete liar, you can see the other threads he had created.

How any guy who play nearly 1.000.000 usd its gonna ask for strategies?

He lost more than $10 000 .. if he only wagered at a loss of $10 for every $1000 wagered. So it is not as huge as you are making it out to be... and that can be over a couple of years...  Roll Eyes

OP, just use the Dice strategy with the 98% win change and top it up with the weekly & monthly bonuses and fund it with some Sport bets with a "cannot lose" odds and also some crazy Crash bets.  Wink
